Altered Scrapbook Ideas: Baby Book

This is an altered scrapbook that Mom and I made to celebrate the birth of my son Riley. Anything that led up to the moment of that precious baby being born is what we included in the scrapbook, and considering this is the first altered book we had created to actually serve a purpose it turned out great.

The baby image on the front of this altered book is from a clip art program from a friends computer. Several images were printed of the baby, then they were cut out and glued on top of each other for a 3-D effect. The clouds are made from foam and chalks were used to add some color and definition. Below are some more pictures of the inside of the altered baby book.

The inside pages, or scrapbook layouts, were created using mainly stickers to hold the pictures in place and a little pop of color underneath each photo using a little bit of colored card-stock to make each photograph pop out. On other pages featured in this album there are page clips and pocket folders for keeping baby announcements or ultrasound pictures in the album and not falling out.

Mom also created another altered book this week using a Bo Bunny chipboard book that spells “Family” and the “Berry Sweet” collection of paper from K and Company.

Now get to scrappin’ those scrapbooks and keepsakes and we will talk to y’all later.
